My children's grandmother, whom they used to call Wita used to make this for them and I remember it being a big hit a birthday party we had years ago. Wita has now passed on to be with the Lord, but when we make this salad it brings us fond memories of her.

Add mayo & some of the prepared broth to the bowl along with the chicken & veggies.

Combine well and add more mayo and/or broth and/or seasonings if needed.
